   I completely agree about how silly it is to leave just because you’re upside down on your mortgage. So long as you can make the payments, at least you have a place to live, while you wait for the house to re-appreciate in value. I ranted about this subject for awhile — well, about upside down mortgages and taking responsibility for the gamble of buying a house, which didn’t work out — and a reader tried to rationalize her situation. (They were trying to sell a place they were “upside down” on, and they were basically giving up on the debt leftover.) I felt bad for her, but some of her reasons made no sense. You can read it here if you like: http://ipickuppennies.blogspot.com/2008/09/forget-respect-id-take-little.html

   But overall, people should probably just get rid of the notion that they NEED to have a house. It’s nice but it’s not a right. And that belief got us into this mess.

   Oops, I put that on the wrong post. Any chance you could repost it on the “mortgage help” post?
